Inheritance was a nice addition and ending to the Inheritance Cycle. I think Eragon finally became a man. Arya is still some strange mixture of male and female but whatever. I must admit though she acted more female in this book. I'm really glad Murtagh didn't die. I was really worried that his character would be ruined beyond repair but Paolini managed to redeem him back to his former glory he held in th first book.

The battles were drawn out at times. I found myself skimming in some places. The ...more

It’s been a while since I’ve read any books in this series, so it was a little jarring to be so immersed in the culture of Alagaësia once more. Paolini led the exposition with a few action sequences (which he has gotten much better at writing, I might add), which is the perfect way to get the reader hooked. Paolini’s narration style has always been a bit wordy, and in some cases it took me out of the story a bit. However, I found myself duly impressed with this book, something that has never hap ...more

I decided to re-read The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini and I was pleased by how much I enjoyed it. I liked it more this time than I did the first time because I was able to skip some of the slower bits since I had read it before. I thoroughly enjoy the characters and I like how detailed a world Christopher Paolini has built but the story does definitely drag at points. I still loathe the way the series ends though.

I think this was a very well written book. I really enjoyed it and imo, it's the best in the series. I wish we had a bit more closure in the end, but over all I think Paolini did the story justice.

I really would love to see a spin off series about Murtaugh and Nasuada. They were probably my favorite couple aside from Eragon and Arya.

I will definitly keep reading anything that he writes, and I hope he writes something soon!

I just finished this series and I'm in a bit of a withdrawl!

I don't know why I like this series. I just do. I had a hard time getting into Inheritance. It starts slow. I think Christopher Paolini likes to get into the details too often which slows the plot down. I criticize JK Rowling with the same though. Once I got into the book, the story hooked me. Ending took too too long to wrap up. ...more
